ABSTRACT
The mechanical properties of Dual Phase Steel (DPS)-duplex
structure-produced by quenching in pre-heated bitumen have been
investigated. Medium carbon steels intercritically heated at different
temperatures and holding times were quenched in hot bitumen. Optical
and scanning electron microscopy characterisation of the duplex
structure showed extensive network of fibrous martensite in a ferritic
matrix with occasional presence of polygonal martensite. The duplex
phase structure exhibited continuous yielding dynamics, improving
the tensile and hardness values by about 42 and 35%, respectively,
relative to the normalised structure. But, the elongation and impact
values decreased by about 42 and 50%, respectively, when compared
to the normalised structure. These values are similar to those obtained
in duplex structure produced using conventional oil quenching. The
tensile fractured surface showed transition between a predominantly
cleavage mode in the lower annealing temperature to a mixed mode
in the upper bound of the annealing temperature. These findings
suggest that pre-heated bitumen can be exploited for the production
of DPSs.
Keywords: Duplex structure; fibrous martensite; intercritical annealing;
tensile fractured surface
ABSTRAK
Sifat mekanik struktur Keluli Fasa Dual (DPS)-dupleks
yang dihasilkan melalui pelindapan dalam bitumen pra-panas telah
dikaji. Keluli karbon sederhana dipanaskan
secara kritikal pada suhu yang dan masa pegangan berbeza telah dilindap
dalam bitumen panas. Pencirian mikroskop
optik dan elektron imbasan oleh struktur dupleks telah menunjukkan
rangkaian luas oleh martensit berserabut dalam matriks ferit dengan
sesekali kehadiran poligon martensit. Struktur fasa dupleks
mempamerkan hasil berterusan yang dinamik, menambahbaik nilai tegangan
dan kekerasan masing-masing sebanyak 42 dan 35%, relatif kepada
struktur normalan. Namun, pemanjangan dan nilai
impak menurun masing-masing sebanyak 42 dan 50% jika dibandingkan
dengan struktur normalan. Nilai ini adalah sama seperti yang diperoleh dalam struktur dupleks yang dihasilkan
dengan menggunakan minyak pelindapan konvensional. Permukaan retak tegangan menunjukkan peralihan antara mod belahan
pradominan dalam suhu sepuh lindap rendah kepada mod campuran dalam
batas atas suhu sepuh lindap. Kajian ini
mencadangkan bahawa bitumen prapanas boleh dieksploitasi untuk pengeluaran
DPS.
Kata kunci: Martensit berserabut; permukaan retak
tegangan; sepuh lindap antara kritikal; struktur dupleks
